It really shocks me that intelligent people have just never heard of
BSD/OS.

And yet, they use it, somewhat indirectly, thousands of times daily.
Like, say, every time they do a DNS lookup. (Hint:
f.root-servers.net runs BSD/OS.)

See http://www.vix.com/vix/pc-hw/bsd-os-hwconfig.html for Paul
Vixies (very good) suggestions on hardware. (Actually, that page
applies no matter what Unix-like OS you're running on IA32
hardware.)
